SJNY Brooklyn Campus Honors Program

Help Our Students Give Back to Science and Wider Community.

As students step into the roles of scientists and caretakers of shared spaces, they build skills in data collection, critical thinking, ethical responsibility, and civic engagement. This immersive experience develops the whole person.

St. Joseph's University New York was represented at the 2026 NRHC Conference in New Haven, CT! The university earned a number of awards this year. We extend our sincere congratulations to Dr. Michael Burke for his well-deserved recognition as Honors Professional of the Year 2026, and Jawad Zaman, who received multiple awards, including the Scholarship of Equity and Access Award and an Honorable Mention for Student of the Year. Jawad presented his research, "Emotions in the Eye of the Machine," at the conference, which utilized a live demonstration. The research explored the accuracy and ethical implications of AI-based facial analysis. We are proud of our students and faculty member Dr. Egbert for their commitment to scholarship and leadership within the honors community.

Faculty News 📰 | Dr. Michael Burke and Dr. Peter Lin presented a poster titled “Unending Drive: Uzumaki (Spiral) as Existential Koan” at the 2025 International Society of Contemplative Research held at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Their work used the Japanese manga Uzumaki as a symbolic framework to explore Lacan’s concept of the death drive alongside Zen approaches to confronting unhealthy, repetitive patterns in life.
